FTAnalyzer

Use FTAnalyzer to investigate your family tree in new and interesting ways, see where your ancestors lived and moved over time on the new maps feature. Find errors in your tree eg: childrens birthdates before parent was born. See lists of who is missing from census searches then click their name to automatically search on Ancestry, Find My Past, Familysearch etc. And lots more.

As a minimum you should select “Use date field” and “Include when Exporting GEDCOM files”.

If you want this fact to show elsewhere then select the relevant options.

Click on OK

For future entries it is not necessary to create the new fact - Lost Cousins will be in the list of facts for you to select and add,

To export a GEDCOM in RootsMagic (v 6):

Select “File” menu option

Then select “Export”

Decide which people you want to export (Everyone” or “Select from List”)

The “Everyone” option is self-explanatory, selecting “Select from list” will present you with a pick list that you can scroll down and select or de-select as you require. There is a button “Mark Group” that will allow you to select group(s) of people using
various selection criteria.

When the necessary people have been selected press OK

You will then be presented with another dialog box where you can select what is included in the GEDCOM file

As a minimum select Notes and Addresses. It will not be necessary to privatise living people if the GEDCOM is only going to be used by yourself. If sending the GEDCOM elsewhere it may be necessary to do so.

Click on OK

You will then be presented with a standard Windows dialog box where you can name the file and decide where to save it.
